Our traditional levels of immigration were much lower -- and were controlled -- before the 1965 changes in our immigration laws and other changes that followed, especially in policy, not law.

It’s the broad public knowledge, or intuition, in America, that we are not assimilating our immigrants patriotically. And if you don’t do that, you’ll lose it all. ”

They are supposed to assimilate themselves to us.

That's not "physcobabble" [sic], that's patriotism. A candidate for U.S. House ought to know the difference.

Here is an extremem solution that'll never get passed ... build a double row fence with mines in between. Bet that might slow 'em down a bit. Allow local law enforcement to arrest illegals for being in the country illegally! What a concept. However, the INS still doesn't want to deal with them. Make it a requirement to be a legal resident to get gov't assistance like welfare. Simple solutions. Just an example of why we need to get control of our borders.
